Evans-Pritchard notes that 'The Mbomu granaries were the gburuki and the soro...
the soro is an unusually large grain-store with a door instead of a moveable roof..[and] is built by wealthier persons, but neither, in my experience is often to be seen today.' The same compound and granary also feature in [1998.341.19,.111,.134, .136, .331] [Chris Morton 13/10/2003]
